CVE-2010-2478 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-2478):
  Integer overflow in the ethtool_get_rxnfc function in net/core/ethtool.c in
  the Linux kernel before 2.6.33.7 on 32-bit platforms allows local users to
  cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via an
  ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL ethtool command with a large info.rule_cnt value that
  triggers a buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3084.
